Area Representative Richard Price Posted July 30, 2006 Area Representative Share Posted July 30, 2006 But it wasn't for my only two runs up Loton yesterday ❗ (but I didn't find out until today ❗) I went for a short run this afternoon, to listen for knocks and groans etc. I noticed a slight pull to the left, but, as I applied power, the car pulled to the right! As I drove along trying to work out what it might be, I tried going on and off the power as I would have done yesterday afternoon. I had to make quite significant corrections to the steering to stop it jumping off the road ❗ I think its all to do with the diff. I have been loaned Marks buffed 195/45 Stunner, but my tyres are almost new. Putting my front tyre onto the back has cured this very odd handling I just hope Caterham are in stock of replacement wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Richard, check the rear alignment as well. I had a similar thing happen several years ago when I had significant toe in on one side. To be honest it was quite scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Richard Price Posted July 30, 2006 Author Area Representative Share Posted July 30, 2006 Graham, Yes, I've checked the rear toe, and found the axle to be slightly skewed, but not bent. Loosening all the fixings and then pinching up again straightened it all up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
